Derek Gee and Adam Yates set to return to racing at the Giro d’Abruzzo after early season injuries
Cycling
After disappearing from the racing calendar in 2007 after 34 editions of the race, the Giro d’Abruzzo is returning for 2024 with the race taking place this week. It is not just the race that is returning though, as both Derek Gee and Adam Yates will be on the start line for stage 1 today after being out of action through injury for over a month.
Gee suffered a broken collarbone and a mild concussion in a crash on the opening day of the Spring Classics at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad at the end of February, which forced him to miss the rest of his Classics campaign for Israel-Premier Tech, in a season where he would have looked to build upon his strong results from last year.
Yates is also returning after a severe concussion that he suffered in a head-first crash at high speeds in the UAE Tour, which forced him to abandon the race on stage 3 to Jebel Jais. He will go into the race as one of the main favourites despite not having raced since February, as he leads a UAE Team Emirates squad that includes the likes of Pavel Sivakov, Diego Ulissi and Jan Christen.

- Which is amazing given his weight and size, though, unlike in boxing and some rare instances we haven’t a clue what his fighting weight was. Anybody know why these “public” figures floated around are considered as being accurate?Jumpyjohn12-11-2026
- That’s a first point, everyone can have an off year or just stagnate before a new upward cycle. What would have been more interesting is including Skjelmose’s performance into the discussion, things have also been expected from him after several performances in the past but he hasn’t really progressed either, his TdF was basically what you would have expected but he’s 26 and been kind of stuck at this level for at least 2-3 years. Maybe he’s a late developer or maybe he needs something to change but as manager I’d be just as demanding and worried about both. Perhaps the recruitment concept was to have enough talent so at least one every year would be in shape and they’ve just been unlucky. Don’t want to rub it in but you could even say Mads lost a notch, so is it the riders or is it more to do with the team?Jumpyjohn12-11-2026
- Bingo...I was also going to say that young pretty women are obsessed Pogi fan girls... who are chasing him. All glossy "____" (blank) about Tadej. PS: You can all fill in the "blank" yourselves, whatever you prefer. The definition of glossy is: It looks unusually shiny, glazed over, watery, or vacant/unfocused.PogiSloFans12-11-2026
- Are you able to discuss ANYTHING without making a reference back to your Special 1? It’s almost as if you’re paid by his marketing team to improve his ranking in search results.Jumpyjohn12-11-2026
